There already is colored armor for teams...
set options: [armorTeams]
and give them leather-armor... tada ;)
Are you planing on adding colored armor for the teams?
Players can wager bets for duels with MUCH less than they have in their account, is this intended?
Anyone has a hint how to modify tourney settings? I want to add best of 3 rounds to the tourney. So basicly the ppl have to win at least 2 times before they go into the next round. Is this possible?
@phentop
/arena create I believe.
/arena create arena1 /arena alter arena1 1 /arena alter arena1 2
the first alter command sets spawn point one, the second sets spawnpoint 2, just do /arena alter arena1 3 4 5 6 7, etc etc and so on till you're satisfied with your arena.
Is there a commands list? and/or instructions on how to set up different arenas? I see 2 youtube tutorials, but IMO they don't explain a lot.
example: What is the command to make a simple 1v1 arena?
I see /ffa and others in the tutorial but didn't see commands for the arena where it removes your inventory and gives you whats in the config to fight with.

config: http://pastebin.com/A1YEKDT3 teamConfig: http://pastebin.com/XpUYzNqR classes: http://pastebin.com/zu7gPMzj
The config file is the only edited one I know of, If the other two are edited I wouldn't know due to they're old backups I believe.
version
[02:34:18 INFO]: This server is running CraftBukkit version git-PaperSpigot-9ac5394-21681b3 (MC: 1.8.6) (Implementing API version 1.8.6-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
PaperSpigot, so...
Any other configs you would need? Sorry about all of this, I hope it isn't a bother.
@ArcLP
Yes, there are rare cases where it's an error or conflict in the server JAR (Spigot or Craftbukkit). I ran into one case where someone mistakenly mess up the compilation of Spigot somehow, which resulted in a error caused by Spigot.jar. I ran into another case where Minecraft released a new Event that conflicted with an old one. (Just two examples). But like I said, I would need all your BattleArena config files and your Spigot version.
@Europia79
I think it might be due to players die but i think the health glitches and they come back alive with like half a heart. the game sees they die but no inventory return, I'll check the config file but would it be a spigot error if its actually the player dies but comes back to life after respawn?

https://github.com/BattlePlugins/BattleArena/blob/master/languages/config_espanol.yml#L75
https://github.com/BattlePlugins/BattleArena/blob/master/src/java/mc/alk/arena/serializers/YamlFileUpdater.java#L279
As you can see, matchEnableForceStart only shows up in config_espanol.yml and YamlFileUpdater.java... It's never actually used by BattleArena.
Forcing an arena to start usually means that you don't have enough players... So what you could do is lower the number of players for each team to a min of 1... Then change matchForceStartTime.
What are your join issues ? Can you pastebin your configs ?
@ArcLP
There are so many configuration options that BattleArena can be mis-configured. The last inventory issue that i investigated was a mis-configuration where the Admin had clearInventory in the wrong config location.
I would need all your BA configuration files to look into this. Also, I think there is an inventory restore command, but I know that is a hassle: http://wiki.battleplugins.org/BattleArena/Commands#Inventory_Commands
Also, if you want me to take a look at your setup over Skype, i'm Nicodemis79. Or you can create a new issue on our github page.
matchEnableForceStart: true
should be in the config by default!!!
As i was searching for not working autostart and join-issues .. and all cause this was missing... :/
Hey I get no errors in my logs but BA sometimes glitches and takes peoples inventories somehow, would you know what is causing it? or edit the player save inventory methods in java? Thank you.
@GeDat
If you have found a bug, please file a formal report on our issue tracker. https://github.com/BattlePlugins/BattleArena/issues
@griffenx
Scoreboards are working fine running 3.9.9.18 and Spigot 1.8.
I hope that one day the scoreboard will remain visible while in an arena battle. Currently it disappears after about 30 seconds. I believe it used to work fine in previous versions of the plugin.
@CloudeLecaw
You have a formatting error in your config. On the part where you added color to the armor. Has nothing to do with Spigot version.
@CloudeLecaw
That has nothing to do with your spigot version. Can you link me your BattleArena files... Namely, classes.yml
I made a duel this is what I did.
/duel create duel1
/arena alter duel1 1 /arena alter duel1 2
/duel (player) Dont have permissions What permission node would I add I tried doing arena.duel.join arena.duel.duel1 and many more
